hatari 2.2.1 not seeing real joypads on ubuntu

[rmd]

Hello,
I'm trying to use real joypads with hatari 2.2.1, they work correctly under linux but when I get into hatari's Joyticks setup, the "use real joystick" option has (none available) written under its title. Am I missing something?

Make sure to connect any joypads before starting Hatari. Hatari does not support hotplugging.

Sometimes device files may be missing, create or symlink them if necessary.

you mean in /dev? what it is expecting?

In the past I had to backlink /dev/input/js0 to /dev/js0 but that may have been SDL1 times.

My Logitech F710 pad here does create device /dev/input/js0 with the xpad driver but is listed with Hatari and SDL2 under Ubuntu. That pad works fine.

Try installing jstest-gtk. This should show device names for connected joypads if everything is correct.

Yes I see them both with similar /dev/input/js0 and js1 files with jstest-gtk, but not in hatari.

Maybe a problem with permissions? User should be member of group input, if I remember correctly.

thanks, I just added my user to input and restarted, unfortunately I still have the same problem.

Is your joystick visible to other SDL2 programs (e.g. games)?
